Unitrends Data Backup & Business Continuity Appliances

Unitrends offers business continuity appliances that provide the lowest total cost of ownership (TCO) in the industry in terms of protecting and restoring critical data and systems. Unitrends family of disk-to-disk (D2D) data protection appliances provides unmatched backup and rapid recovery of lost systems, applications, and unstructured, and structured data as well as disaster recovery protection.

Our on-premise Data Protection Units (DPUs) for local backups, our disk-to-disk-to-disk (D2D2D) rotational archiving appliances, and Data Protection Vaults (DPVs) for off-site data vaulting (replication) eliminate the need for multi-vendor software and hardware and coupled with our world-class customer support provides an integrated, simple, and elegant solution that is designed from the ground-up for small- and medium-sized enterprises.

Data Compliance & Disaster Recovery

You know that you should protect your business from disaster; that if you lost your data and systems that you have at worst little chance of recovering your business or at best a long slow crawl back to resuming your operations.

Litigation is a cost of business. Being unable to respond in an appropriate manner to regulation and potential litigation dramatically increases your overall costs.

Our appliances are designed to enable the rapid recovery of your systems - not just your data. The solutions that Unitrends brings to businesses with respect to disaster recovery are as follow:

Edge data protection: Protection of notebooks, PCs, and workstations at the "edge" of the IT infrastructure. Local storage is protected without requiring people to remember to copy to the SAN.
Physical and virtual server protection: Protection of physical and virtual servers within the IT infrastructure. This may be used to avoid proprietary vendor lock-in of a single storage vendor or technology.
NAS and SAN data protection: Protection of NAS and SANs within the IT infrastructure. This may be used to avoid proprietary vendor lock-in of a single storage vendor or technology. You can protect your NASs and SANs either directly or indirectly.
D2D2D rotational archiving: Disk-to-disk-to-disk rotational archiving may be used for disaster recovery and to conserve WAN bandwidth in a multi-premise environment.
Electronic vaulting: Electronic vaulting offers the lowest total cost of ownership in terms of disaster recovery and tends to conserve WAN bandwidth better than SAN-based replication. If sufficient WAN bandwidth exists, SAN-based replication is a viable alternative to electronic vaulting.
Unified monitoring and management: Our Rapid Recovery Console allows unified monitoring and management; our alert, SMTP e-mail, and SNMP systems allow integration with third-party systems and network management platforms.

Heterogeneous Storage and Computers

The Unitrends data protection appliances supports all types of storage: DAS (Direct Attached Storage - the internal drives on your servers, workstations, PCs, and networks), NAS (Network Attached Storage - also called filers or network filers), and SAN (System Attached Network). We also directly support all types of computer platforms: servers, workstations, PCs, and notebooks.

Bare Metal Data Protection

Unitrends was one of the pioneers of Bare Metal data protection. Bare Metal is a technology designed to dramatically decrease the time and effort required to restore a computer to its original state in the event of a system failure. Bare Metal protects not only the typical files and data of the user but also the operating system and applications.

Adaptive Deduplication

Adaptive deduplication is a hybrid data reduction technology that combines inline compression with post-processing data deduplication. The major differentiating feature of Adaptive Deduplication is that it does not require expensive dedicated hardware; it operates on affordable Unitrends backup appliances.

Incremental Forever

Incremental forever is a backup strategy in which only a single master or full backup is needed; after that incremental backups are performed "forever" and the backup appliance keeps track of those incremental backups in a manner that allows the user to recover quickly and easily.

VMware Instant Recovery with Failover Virtualization

VMware instant recovery uses the Unitrends' failover virtualization technology to enable the recovery of VMware systems in just a few minutes. It works by allowing the Unitrends' backup appliance to become the provisioned virtual storage provider; thus, it support the execution of newly created VMware-based virtual machines by providing the virtual disk. Long-term recovery is then optionally performed using VMware vMotion.

Windows Instant Recovery with Failover Virtualization

Windows instant recovery uses the Unitrends' failover virtualization technology to enable the recovery of Windows systems in just a few minutes. It works by allowing the Unitrends' backup appliance to become the virtual host and directly support the execution of the Windows systems as virtual machines. Long-term recovery is then performed once new Windows servers are procured via a dissimilar bare metal restore.
